Erica enjoyed the book's projections into the future, especially the look into the "day in the life of a school in 2015." She liked that the author's expectations of how technology would progress was not unrealistically high. She appreciated the section about copyright, but feels concern that real world legality has yet to catch up with technology. Recalling the lawsuit of Google versus the book publishers over rights, she wonders how many more incidents of severe copyright infringement it will take to force the world to take notice of creators' rights to control and profit from their intellectual property. She wonders if it might have helped the book to have more perspectives, to consider the view of creative providers, not simply creative consumers such as teachers and librarians (who may also become providers, and who therefore should have a vested interest in the protection of their work).
Erin found it interesting to read about copyright beginning on page 142. It is about how you can get a license for your digital work including process, form etc. You can get a license for your blog or images from personal pictures. This can protect your personal work. You can put a badge of your license on your page which will also make it look more official. Sheila wonders if it will really work.
Valerie thought it was interesting that Warlick emphasized the point that "integrating technology into the library media center" was really integrating literacy into the library media center. By integrating the technology, you are really implementing additional important literacy skills into your program. Warlick also redefined literacy goals on page 160. What was literacy, is now learning literacy. Literacy skills is now literacy habits. Life long learning is now learning lifestyle.
-Erica doesn't like when terms are re-named.
On page 131, Dominique thought it was interesting how videogames are being utilized in education to enhance literacy. By programming video games, students are collaborating and using a hands-on approach to constructive learning.
Michelle liked reading about using a classroom web site on page 126. Being that she is a second grade inclusion teacher, this is something she is definately interested in and planning on using in her classroom. The information in the book will be extremely helpful.
Sheila's copy of "Lit 2.0" is full of post-it bookmarks with notes scribbled on them. Like page 104, i don't text yet but it's good to know some basics. What I really thought was excellent was p.105, it boils down what any authentic learning experience can really be. i'd like every teacher in my school to just read this once. Also, now I'm re-thinking my views on social networking tools,I can see that they can be a source for good in the high school library (not just an annoyance that you have to keep the kids out of or block completely). The trick is making sure that they are used as literacy tools for assignments and not for checking perezhilton's twitter page. I'm going to ask the director of technology if she has read this book. It should be on her book shelf right now.
